The allergy profile and accompanying sinonasal pathologies in patients with bronchial asthma
Conclusion: In bronchial asthma patients with positive test result for skin prick testing, the most common allergy was found against the grains, weeds, and the house dusts. Deviated septum, turbinate hypertrophy, serous discharge, and pallor of the mucous membranes were often detected pathologies in physical examination. According to the radiologic findings, mucosal thickening and opacification of the sinuses were most common imaging findings.

Central compartment atopic disease.
CONCLUSION: CCAD may represent a local inhalant allergy process that affects the central nasal structures of ethmoid origin. Although inhalant allergy changes mainly appear within the nasal cavity, medial-to-lateral progression to involve the sinuses can occur as a simple obstructive phenomenon. This is a pattern of CRS distinct from the more diffuse sinonasal inflammatory disease and likely requires allergy management as a core component. PMID: 28716173 [PubMed - in process]

Clinical value of radiocontrast media skin tests as a prescreening and diagnostic tool in hypersensitivity reactions.
CONCLUSION: RCM skin testing for screening is of no clinical utility in predicting hypersensitivity reactions. RCM skin testing may have modest utility in retrospectively evaluating severe adverse reactions. PMID: 23535089 [PubMed - in process]

Toward photorealism in endoscopic sinus surgery simulation.
CONCLUSION: This new computer-based training tool for practicing ESS provides a risk-free environment for surgical trainees to practice and develop core skills. The novel use of customized precision force feedback (haptic) devices enables trainees to use movements during training that closely mimic those used during the actual procedure, which we anticipate will improve learning, retention, and recall.

Craniofacial osteoma: Clinical presentation and patterns of growth.
CONCLUSION: Craniofacial osteomas are slow-growing lesions with no specific growth pattern and rare complications. Their clinical behavior is ill defined and justifies a conservative approach toward asymptomatic lesions with close radiological follow-up. PMID: 23562202 [PubMed - in process]

The feasibility of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography uptake as a prognostic factor for paranasal sinus malignancy.
CONCLUSION: In our study, we concluded that subjects with higher tumor FDG uptakes should be considered for a more aggressive disease. PMID: 23562200 [PubMed - in process]

A proposed model to study immunologic changes during chronic rhinosinusitis exacerbations: Data from a pilot study.
CONCLUSION: Prospective study of CRS exacerbations is feasible and provides insights into the immunologic mechanisms of CRS. PMID: 23562196 [PubMed - in process]

Immunohistochemical dissimilarity between allergic fungal and nonfungal chronic rhinosinusitis.
CONCLUSION: Although CT scans and histological examination can assist the diagnosis of rhinosinusitis, tissue immunophenotyping can be used in defining different types of fungal and nonfungal CRS cases. PMID: 23710950 [PubMed - in process]

Chapter 7: Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis.
Abstract Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) is a type of chronic rhinosinusitis in which patients classically exhibit nasal polyps, type I IgE-mediated hypersensitivity, characteristic findings on computed tomography scans, eosinophilic mucin, and positive fungal stain. New research has sought to further understand the pathophysiology of AFRS. However, this has also led to debate about the classification and predominance of this interesting disease process. Historically, patients with AFRS are immunocompetent. The disease is most prevalent in the southeast and south central United States and typically presents ...

Chapter 4: Chronic rhinosinusitis.
Abstract Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is the second most common chronic medical condition in the United States. It represents a group of disorders characterized by inflammation of the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses of at least 12 weeks duration. CRS with or without nasal polyps is defined as inflammation of the nose characterized by two or more symptoms, one of which should be either nasal blockage, obstruction, congestion, or nasal discharge (anterior/posterior nasal drip); with or without facial pain/pressure; and/or with or without reduction or loss of smell. Symptomatology should be supported by obvious di...

Sinonasal respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartomas: Series of 51 cases and literature review.
CONCLUSION: REAHs are rare sinonasal lesions that may appear as localized, isolated masses or more diffuse when in conjunction with other inflammatory processes. Irrespective of clinical presentation, endoscopic removal appears to be curative. Differentiation from more aggressive lesions is paramount to avoid unnecessarily radical surgery for an otherwise benign process. PMID: 23883815 [PubMed - in process]

Unilateral inferior turbinate bone hypertrophy: Is it compensatory or congenital?
CONCLUSION: We claim that these results indicate that skeletal and soft tissue IT hypertrophy seem to be compensatory and evolves with age rather than being congenital. Therefore, skeletal enlargement is prominent in anterior, middle, and posterior thirds of HIT in patients with septal deviation in adults but not in the pediatric group.

New insight into the assessment of asthma using xenon ventilation computed tomography.
CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that xenon ventilation CT can be used as a new method to assess ventilation abnormalities in asthma, and these ventilation abnormalities can be used as novel parameters that reflect the status of asthma control and symptom severity.
